Title: Report a possible scammer/multiple accounts
Post by: dianaseller on August 21, 2015, 03:21:00 PM
Hi,

I couldn't find any way to report something like this.
Who do I PM if I suspect someone of having multiple accounts or trying to scam members?

I have reason to believe that someone has 2 accounts (I linked his skype to his paypal email). I haven't made any deals with him/her, but received 2 PMs and there are signs...

Anyway, let me know.

Thanks!

Have you tried to PM the forum moderator? perhaps that would help.

This forum tries to promote free speech so no one would be banned even if there is concrete proof that they are scamming. If you do have some proofs however, do post it in the scam accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) section. People can then leave a negative feedback to warn other users. How the negative trust will be shown depends on the trust list modifications made by individual users.

Mods usually don't get involved with these things.

You can open a scam accusation with your evidence of suspicions and if legit the community will likely negfuck them.

Multiple accounts is allowed so no one will give neg trust to someone only because he has multiple accounts.

If you believe someone is scamming open a scam accusation and proof linking the accounts, if there is enough evidence then probably someone from default trust will neg them

If you think that there is an account that is owed by a scammer, and/or an account that is a scammer then you can shoot me a PM along with your reasoning you think they are a scammer. The more information you include in your report, the more likely I am to look into the situation thoroughly, so please include as much information as possible.

Please note that simply having multiple accounts is not against any rule, so if you think that someone has multiple accounts for reasons other then to scam, then there is nothing that I can/will do about it.
